In the US it is the big corporations that control the government.

This makes for a long celebration on leap years!

Can’t find markup on f-droid. Anyway to install it on another ROM than grapheneOS?

In Switzerland we have a tax when selling a house on the value it gained since you bought it. So if you buy a house for price X and you sell it for more than that, you will be taxed on the price difference. Even if the price difference is just because of market fluctuations.

This is probably a better solution against flippers, since only those making money by increasing house values are taxed. The tax can then be made more or less aggressive as needed.

Edit: here are some more explanations about how this tax works https://www.ch.ch/en/housing/homeownership/taxation-of-real-estate#are-you-planning-to-sell-your-house-or-apartment

Maybe the downvotes are because you wrote your post in the opposite route. Of you read OP again, you will see that there is a whole post for that.

Thank you for your quality post anyway!

If your computer is always running it may never take longer than five minutes. But try to leave your computer shut down for a month or more. Then updates accumulate and it can take really long to make them.

The BIOS should have a boot order option. You could set you USB as first priority there. Your USB may need to be plugged in to appear in this list.

You do have to reboot to use your new kernel after an update. But it’s just a normal reboot, not the whole blocking installation process like in Windows.

Don’t you have an option to boot from usb in the BIOS?

Note that accessing the boot menus is not always with F12. Sometimes it’s also ESC, F1, F2 or DEL. You should try those.

I use Linux at work because Windows has too many “annoyances that will curb [my] productivity”. I can understand that it is not for everybody though.

You should respect everyone, teacher or not, and then you will start getting some respect too.

2. MS word (yeah, I don’t like Libre and most of Libre Suit) it’s not as good as MS suite, of c, but it’s really bad.

Have you tried onlyoffice? Its interface is closer to ms office and an online version can even be self hosted and integrated with nextcloud or seefile.

It has apps for Linux and Android
